How would you plan a one way trip to your dream land?




Imagine that place you have always wanted to live in, and you get a notice that, you’re finally invited to come and spend your last days, there! How would you prepare?

I remember my first trip to England, wow! I packed every and anything, I thought about the worst and the best that could possibly happen it was exciting.

Having to know never coming back, what are the things you would do in preparation?

You did do important things, like make impact to the people around you, making people have a blissful memory of you.

You would make sure you leave a clean record; you will try not to break any law and have no prison record at all.

You would make sure what people have to say are about you are good and they would have no ill thought of you.

You would begin to imagine where you’re going to, and begin to imitate their live style, and begin to get accustomed to the way they dress, eat, talk and so on. You would like to know the history of the place.

Finally your mind would be at rest because, you’re leaving this place someday for a better place, so no matter what happens to you’re not moved, or influenced to act negatively towards where you’re going………………….

What are your plans for your one way trip to heaven?.................Are you exited?
HEB 10:34  For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.

Are you making any impact in the place that you find yourself? And are you surpassing expectation at it? (Ecc 9:10)

What kind of life are you living? Can anybody vouch for your righteous living? (MATT 5:20 )

Few moments ago somebody asked me if I was going for a party happening tonight and my classmate laughed, there’s no way you can see him there.

A marathon is not done in a few seconds, it takes a while and a lot, so is the heavenly race (Heb 12:1), anything can get you disqualified, when facing the panel (1Cor. 3:13), you must do all that it takes to win.

                      You must make your mind not back out, on your plans in gong to heaven and be excited.
MAT 5:12  Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in                 heaven……………………………….

How much people hate their homes??!!


    How much people hate their homes??!!

Imagine you have a son, you and your son live in one of the most recognized places in the world, you have all that he needs and you raise him as a prince. Some day you decide to sponsor your son on a vacation, you want him to know how things are done in other parts of the world. You send him to an Under developing Nation like Sudan in Africa……..

He spends the time allocated to him, and during his vacation word gets to you that your son does not want to return home, and he always feels bad anytime he thinks about coming home.

How would you feel?!!

Christians become sad, scared and worried, anytime they hear things like “JESUS is coming soon”. They all become weary at the sound of “rapture” (1Thess 4:14-18).

It breaks the heart of CHRIST to find out that the people HE died for are scared for HIS own coming. This earth is just a temporary place compared to where we would all spend eternity.

Why are Christians scared of going to their true home? To a place which far better than their present home.

Are the acts of unrighteousness now so much that Christians are afraid they may end up on the wrong side of Glory?
Are we afraid of not being righteous? (2Cor 5 :21)

Some people claim that if they knew when CHRIST is coming they would live their lives differently? That’s silly!! That means people would be living a life of “eye service”, doing the right things just because the boss is around!! (Mat 6 1-5)

We should be more than happy when we hear of the coming of CHRIST again (2Cor 5 vs. 7-8), and we should be more than happy when people sleep in the LORD! That’s why the Yoruba people of Nigeria, celebrate the dead because they know and believe that the dead is in a better place… how much more we Christians that know the truth!

 Heaven is Home!!!  Earth is just a temporary work place
